Open V9 Lathe Files in X2

[CNCGUY]

Hey all,

 

We are just starting to use X2 for lathe programming. Everytime we open a V9 file in X2, we get multiple levels in the view manager. See photos below. Everything is programmed with one W/C and C/P so I dont understand what is going on. I cant change them in X either.

 

 

 

Also the tool numbers come in with the wrong offset. They start at 1 and increment by 1. ie: 101, 102, 503, 604, 205, etc.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Nobody using Lathe in X????

I have opened many V9 lathe file in X, and have not seen this problem. This may have something to do with your machine def.

 

I would send the V9 file to your dealer and see if they can duplicate, and track down to cause.

Troy,

 

Are these levels? It looks more like tool plane numbers (all the tool planes are lathe upper left they just have different numbers) which have never been an issue for me. I will follow this thread and see if anyone else knows more.

You get this when you bring V9 lathe stuff into

any X version.. Each V9 lathe op

brings its own toolplane with it, even though it is the same plane..

I've never found a way to stop it or fix it, but it doean't hurt anything.

I've tried reassigning all the OPS to the same

plane but it doesn't stick..

All in all, its a harmless irritation in regular 2 axis lathe work.. I can see it causing trouble in multiaxis lathe work though.

Phil, Youre correct. The only issue I have is its cluttered, not clean like mill. It has never been a problem as far as function though.

Me too, with the same result. I guess as long as it works

 

What about the tool offset numbers? Is that a MD issue?
